EXACT Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Comparing two text strings for exact match (case-sensitive)
Understanding the EXACT Formula
The EXACT function in Excel compares two text strings for an exact match, including case sensitivity, returning TRUE or FALSE. It’s a precision tool for text validation—like checking passwords or codes.
EXACT('Apple', 'apple') returns FALSE due to case difference. It takes two text arguments, distinguishing it from = (which ignores case), making it ideal for strict text comparisons.
Why Use EXACT?
EXACT ensures precision—think data entry checks or case-sensitive IDs. Its strict matching catches subtle differences, offering a reliable way to verify text equality.
Example with Sample Data
| Text 1, Text 2 | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 'Apple', 'apple' | =EXACT("Apple", "apple") | FALSE |
| 'Test', 'Test' | =EXACT("Test", "Test") | TRUE |
| 'abc', 'ABC' | =EXACT("abc", "ABC") | FALSE |
EXACT checks strictly: 'Apple' vs 'apple' is FALSE. It’s a case-sensitive comparer.
